Stand at the heart of your home — this can be an altar or simply the center of your living space. Light a candle. Spend a few moments just looking at the flame, without rushing. Let your gaze settle and your thoughts quiet down.

Say the incantation to the fire:

✨Living fire, clear light,
enter this home, fill it with warmth,
shelter it from all that is чуждое and cold.
Let the walls of this home hold peace,
let neither тревога nor heaviness remain here.
Let everyone who enters
feel protection and support.

Pure fire, bright fire,
burn away all that prevents peaceful living.
Let there be enough in this home —
love, health, support, and warmth.
Let loved ones be protected,
let their path be steady and calm.

Preserve, sustain, strengthen.✨

After this, slowly walk through your home with the candle. You may carefully go around every corner or simply pass through the main spaces — what matters is not speed or coverage, but your attention. In each place, pause and “illuminate” it from within, saying:

✨I anchor this space with light,
I fill it with care,
I leave here only that
which serves goodness and life.

So it is.✨

When you return to your starting point, place the candle down and let it burn for a while. Sit nearby and watch the flame, visualizing how the fire gathers warmth in the home and anchors it.

At the end, thank the fire and gently extinguish the candle.
